Stretch marks are cause from the skin stretching to much in a short period of time... Also loosing and gaining wheight within a small amount of time. Maybe you are gaining wheight to fast. You should see a food doctor..Lol sorry my brain isnt working right now so I cant spell the right name for them...Lol

Cause not only is your tummy growing, but everything else is growing too. Your butt (i went up two underwear sizes), your chest, your thighs, everything is growing. All of your skin is stretching.

Neeko i'm just like you I got stretch marks on my thighs, my a**, my boobs and like one or two on my sides but none on my belly.. Its so weird isn't it. I hate it but at least I know I can still wear a bikini when this is all through.. Well so far I can.. 3 more months to go, so I guess i'll have to wait and see.

Well I have 2 months to go.. And my stretch marks just started probably about a month ago..
I plan on doing my best to work off the weight etc.. Mostly by walking in the begining I heard thats good.. And my baby will come a little b4 summer.. And I also heard tanning helps.. (is this true?) cuz I figure even if im all gross and stuff I can still tan to try and lessen the appearance exspecially up at the trailer lol eher I can go out on the boat so nobody can see! Lol

I have been using it and im not sure how much it actually helped prevent them.. Cuz I have no way of knowing if I didnt use it if I would have got it worse, but I find it does help lighten the appearance of them at least
